An Iraqi man has managed to avoid being deported from the UK after claiming a people smuggler tossed his ID and forced him to get rid of his phone while on his way to Britain. According to The Telegraph, the man said he couldn’t provide phone numbers for his family because he simply didn’t know them by heart, making it impossible to replace his lost documents.
He told an immigration tribunal that he fled Iraq after facing threats of arrest over an alleged exam fraud. CCTV footage reportedly caught him delivering test papers to an address just a day before students were due to sit the exam—raising eyebrows over the timing.
